the handler
Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and
disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers.
Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect
whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly
disabled).
In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults.
With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt
counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs.
We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling
might_sleep().
Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this
is needed.
faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in
linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.
This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

Remove the end address checking for initda function. We need to invalidate
each address line for initda instruction, from start to end address.

Remove the end address checking for flushda function. We need to flush
each address line for flushda instruction, from start to end address.
This is because flushda instruction only flush the cache if tag and line
fields are matched.
Change to use ldwio instruction (bypass cache) to load the instruction
that causing trap. Our interest is the actual instruction that executed
by the processor, this should be uncached.
Note, EA address might be an userspace cached address.

Follow commit 871341023c771ad.
Kernel faults are expected to handle OOM conditions gracefully (gup,
uaccess etc.), so they should never invoke the OOM killer. Reserve
this for faults triggered in user context when it is the only option.

Commit d065bd810b6d ("mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer") and
and commit 37b23e0525d3 ("x86,mm: make pagefault killable")
The above commits introduced changes into the nios2 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
